The Independent Christmas Gift Guide
Good morning! Make yourself a cup of something hot and take 20 minutes of quiet for yourself. Firstly, has anyone been soundtracking their life with Self Esteem lately? What an absolute banger of a Glasto set she gave in the summer. My pick of the festival for sure. Not that I went. I enjoyed it…
Gift Guide: Coffee Table Books
To me, the art of the common coffee table book is to be picked up and put down for any given length of time or any number of repeat visits, and be able to satisfy the mind without being too taxing. Interesting enough to open but carefree enough to put down when the coffee runs…
My Guide: the Best SPF Products

About Me
In 2020, we sold our home in Essex and moved to Cornwall. Previously a HR Manager at a racecourse, I decided to step away from my corporate career and focus on a creative outlet that felt more in line with.. well.. me.
After years of being totally obsessed with small independent brands and charity shop bargain hunting, I would always get so many, where is that from? requests that I finally decided to write my own blog.
With a background in fashion retail, kick started by work experience at Habitat, I’m passionate about interiors and helping people find the perfect gift. I’m married to Martin, we have a rescue sausage dog Kenya and we recently welcomed our first child.
I am obsessed with vintage and retro styling, and promoting independent sellers.
Let’s hang out
